Being a member of AHIMA allowed me to expand my skills in the health information management field. I was very pleased with the instruction from an AHIMA-accredited institution and value the knowledge gained from membership in AHIMA. I would recommend membership to those considering getting credentials in allied health fields.

What do I love about OHIMA? The community! Attending an OHIMA event is like coming home for a big family reunion.  Catching up with friends and colleagues, old and new, and seeing students who interned with me blossom into successful young professionals- that’s the BEST!  Immersing myself into the educational content and exchanging ideas and stories always leaves me feeling invigorated and ready to face the challenges of my work. Finally, the opportunity to be immersed into new services and technologies that vendors are showcasing, has me pulling out my notepad every time to make a shopping list for the upcoming budget year. I get all of this goodness because of OHIMA!
